PARENT PARTNERSHIP

We regard our College families and friends as partners in the process of educating the children at
Thomas Hassall Anglican College.

We provide many opportunities for you to be involved in College life, including Parent
Information Evenings, special assemblies, concerts, musicals, events, carnivals, the
South West Festival and more.

The College is very appreciative of the many ways in which parents, grandparents and friends assist
by offering time and expertise or donations of goods and services.

The Parent Community Network consists of self-nominated parents of students from Prep to
Year 12. The Parent Community Network will provide social networking opportunities throughout
the year by organising gatherings such as morning teas, lunches, holiday activities and casual get
togethers etc. Most events will be held off-site and are a great way for families to get to know each
other outside school hours.

The Parent Community Network also provide support to staff by getting involved in various activities such as helping in the canteen, reading and literacy groups, assistance at sport carnivals and creative arts events, exam supervision and writing, focus group discussions etc. The Parent Community Network also assist the College’s key fundraising activities.

The Parent Community Network will meet termly at the College with the Marketing and Community
Relations Manager to discuss ideas and upcoming activities. From time to time a guest speaker from the College, together with the Principal, may also attend these meetings to provide information and discuss new programs at the College.

We welcome and encourage all parents to attend and get involved in our activities which are fun,
rewarding and add to the sense of community at our College.

At the beginning of each year, the College conducts a short Induction session for volunteers. This
session informs helpers about our policies and practices in respect to Work, Health and Safety, Child Protection, Responding to Emergencies, Professional Standards, Privacy and Confidentiality.

We look forward to your involvement and partnership.
